Have a look at the netplan.io config file at https://gist.github.com/fluffy/e2a202a0816299d519dabf7bbed2f7bb for 802.1 auth for a wired network.

This will generate a wpa config file at /run/netplan/wpa-enp4s0.conf that has

password="hash:83d…0b11"

However, this is not correct. It should not have the quotes and should look like

password=hash:83d…0b11

The quotes cause the wpa_suppicant to not detect this is a hashed password and instead think it is a normal password that starts with hash:

This is an important bug because at Cisco we can not store our passwords unhashed on disk and our production network requires 802.1x auth. I think this is simple to fix and I'm glad to send a PR or any other information that helps fix it.

Thank you for looking at this, Cullen
